The release titles should be correct, without thinking of technical 
difficulties. If you think about these, then we should only use 
characters that are available on every keyboard.
Release Aliases would be nice, but don't exist yet. No reason for wrong 
spelling of release titles.

If a relase can't be found just by typing the name, then you look at the 
list of releases for an artist (where we have aliases).

This is what many people do that like chines or russian musik, but don't 
have the ability to type in all the characters, alreaday do and it 
looks like you also have to do that for french releases sometimes ;-)
